October 20, 2021 - Sisters In Law: A Five-Part Series Honoring Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Theatre Or and Tattered Cover present Honoring Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a free webinar series designed as community outreach in association with the Colorado premiere of the play Sisters In Law by Jonathan Shapiro, produced by Theatre Or in association with Elzabeth Weber, Dale Franzen, and Don Franzen.
